For beginner exercisers, mirrors can be daunting," she said.
  Martin Ginis suggested gyms provide areas without mirrors to encourage novice exercisers."Women don’t need to exercise in a gym," she said. There are other ways to get your exercise. 散步30分钟或徒步旅行也不错
  单词提示:
  daunting adj. 令人畏惧的;
  novice n. 初学者
  答案:
  Thirty minutes of walking, or hiking is good too.
  本句节选自《Mirrors tarnish women’s image ?》
  总结:
  1. 单词 hiking 就是徒步旅行的意思,当然 travelling on foot 的说法也是正确的。
  2. “也不错”的表达,可以说成:
  It’s good (or fine)
  a good idea ( or choice)
  题目很简单,关键是表达的时候要选择比较地道的说法。
